Flamborough, Yorkshire.—At 1.35 on the afternoon of the 18th of December, 1954, the coastguard telephoned that the weather was deteriorating and that the local fishing cobles Imperialist and Silver Line were still at sea. At 1.45 the life-boat Friendly Forester was launched in a rough sea, with a wester- ly gale blowing and an ebbing tide.

She came up with the cobles one and a half miles east of Flamborough Head, escorted them to the North Landing, and reached her station again at 2.55.
